A member asked:

I have pain at the nape of neck,feels stiffness on it & eyes as well.whats the probabale reason for it & how to cure it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stiff neck: Muscle stiffness in the neck can result from a strain or sleeping in an awkward position. Try warm packs to the back of your neck and take Tylenol (acetaminophen) for relief. See your physician if symptoms persist.
